Lucy Isabel Burgess (nee Huffman), born on April 20, 1937 in the Toronto area, peacefully passed away on October 19, 2024, at the age of 87 in Meaford, Ontario.

Greatly missed by many grandchildren and great grandchildren who will carry forward her legacy. She was affectionately known as Aunty Bell to her nieces and nephews.

‘If you want to know true love, just look at us.’ Isabel loved and was loved in return.
